1. O grave of Layla, had we witnessed you, women would have wailed over you,
Eloquent and foreigners alike,

2. O grave of Layla, honor her resting place,
Repay her for the blessings we enjoyed thanks to her,

3. O grave of Layla, Layla is a stranger in your land,
No uncle or cousin beside her,

4. O grave of Layla, none as chaste and noble as Layla
Have you enveloped before her,

5. O grave of Layla, today her mother and aunt are gone
And those who protected her are gone,
